Aiming at the cities of Sirte, Sabha, and Bani Walid, NATO bombs struck one radar system, eight surface-to-air missile systems, five surface-to-air missile trailers, one armed vehicle and two command vehicles in a sizable air campaign, despite Western claims the war would subside.

But as rebel forces invaded these last remaining bastions of Gadhafi support and NATO followed up with unrelenting air raids, hundreds of civilians poured out of these towns, fleeing the violence. The refugees reported days of intense firefights and bombing and complained of deteriorating humanitarian conditions.

The United Nations released a statement expressing concern about the plight of civilians marooned inside the isolated pro-Gadhafi towns. Reports flowed out of Libya that these towns have no electricity, no running water, and severe food shortages.

Meanwhile, Muammar Gadhafi’s son al-Saadi Gadhafi crossed the border into Niger seeking political asylum. Nigerian spokesman Marou Amadou has confirmed that he is now in Niamey, Niger’s capital along with three generals in Gadhafi’s army. Al Saadi Gadhafi is the subject of a United Nations sanction for commanding a military unit accused of repression of demonstrations.

Gaddafi would win any election – that's why they want to kill and charge him and trumpeting the "post Gaddafi area" to delete any idea of a real fair election.
From 17.06 – 19.07.11, 5﻿ Million demonstrated against NATO and its rebels = 80 percent of libyans – that is why NATO does not accept Libyan offer of democratic elections supervised by UN and AU !

"Al Saadi Gadhafi is the subject of a United Nations sanction for commanding a military unit accused of repression of demonstrations." So if this man is accused of repression, what can we say of NATO and their Libyans lackeys for assassinating wholesale?

wow always enough money for months of aerial bombardment and cruise missile strikes, but for the people of the nations doing the bombing, no jobs, inadequate healthcare, crumbling infrastructure, austerity measures…
makes ya think they kinda deserve it.
everyone who wanted to see Gaddhafi fall, you got your wish. Now, how many Libyans will die at the hands of the NATO saviors? (Not to mention tribal warfare)

the world media virtually ignores this ! Look how intelligently the newspaper does manipulate this ethnic cleansing in the title of the article !
